You can also use coax to make matching transformer however I don't
know how either of these methods would work for AE4PB's 6 band vertical.

velocity factor for the 1/2" hardline... that is ballpark 80 to 83%.
for 3.540 mhz is
265 feet x .8 = 212 feet. If you don't have a piece of test gear to
get it cut
correctly then put a 50 ohm dummy load at the far end keep cutting until your
wattmeter says 1 to 1 swr. 1/2 wave multiples will hit most of the ham
bands. A
little high in the 30m band. Close enough.
